The record has circulated as both Impressions on Chopin and Chopin Demain, with some editions dating it to 1998 and others to 1999.

In its entry on Możdżer, New Grove describes his solo language as shaped by both Chopin and Keith Jarrett, an unusually neat summary of the two traditions meeting here.
